JOB: Software Engineer

The role

RMP Enterprise is the company behind a number of marketing leading products in the early careers space including RateMyPlacement, On-Campus Promotions, RMP Connect and RateMyApprenticeship. 

We’re seeking a smart and effective Engineer who wants a role in a team that’s building incredible web products. As the right person for this new role, you’ll have three to four years experience with a PHP framework. You should be able to show us on-line products or services that you have taken a major role in developing. 

We like to work with people who are ready to challenge us and who work collaboratively with others. We’re looking for someone the engineers will look to for advice and guidance, and who the lead engineers will look to bounce ideas off to come up with solutions together. If you’re super-keen to be learning and be at the leading edge of your game, we want to hear from you.

Our Stack

We primarily code in PHP 7.1+, JavaScript ES6, MySQL 5.7.x, and use a number of cloud-based services. Experience with MVC frameworks (we build on Laravel 5.x) and tools like Composer are desirable.

We’ve recently expanded our stack and some of the technologies we have introduced are Vue.js for projects that have complex UI requirements and Elasticsearch for our search engine. We are also always very keen to improve our testing and deployment processes. If you have experience in any of these areas this is a great opportunity to join us and shape how we implement and utilise this technology next year.

If you like setting yourself ambitious goals, then achieving them, then you’ll enjoy this work. If you understand how to collaborate, build consensus, and be clear on your opinions, then we’ll get on really well.
